ishA 5 which nu (mo of its vini@ i will move into its position of equililniun'i, and the supporting,- rod 20 will .move up ward in the hole 30, and the pin 3l leaves said hole. Although the ie\ ,r Q-lbe pushed aside by the catch 10, it will not be able to reach the end of the rail as this is placed too high. Hail 22 will onljg7 be able to return into the w rking position, if' firstly the meat is taken away from the serle andl secondly the pin 3]. is again guided into the hole 30 by hand. l

The quantity of the meat to cut off can be varied by changing the position of the n'eieght- 36 on the arm 37 which rests on knife edge bearing- 3S, while the weight of the scale 2G is adjusted by the additional weight 39 with the adjusting piece 40. n

rlhe machine works as follows: The piece of meator the like to be cutin slices is pnt into connection with its transport devices and the shaft l put into rotation. rihe arm or disk 5 will take part in the rotation and the wheel 7 will turn the knife Si around its own axisand at the same time around the axis of the shaft l. The knife will cut slices from the pieces of meat the transportingij devices of which are in activity. The slices will fall upon the scale 243, and if 'the desired quantity has fallen, the scale will move downward and the rod 29, links and rail or pitman ascend and come out of the way of the lever 24. )it the same time the lever 3l, 3% will have stopped the parts just described at their highest position, so as to stop the movement of the rod l) also and the ratchet wheel ll until a fresh quantity of the Same sort of meat or the like is needed and the arm 3l anew guided into the hole 30 and thus the weiglr ing and transporting mechanism anew put into motion.-

vW hat l claim is:

3. Vin meat slicers, a driven knife and meaas for feedi the meat to the knife, ,said n'ieans comprising a pitnian, in combination with a scale receiving the sliced meat andmeans governed b v said scale to disconnect 'the i''eedinnl mechanism by moving' the piinian to inoperative position,

Jl. in a meat slicer, a knife and i'ilanetary gearing' for d ririrrsg said knife.y in combination with means for feeding' the meat, said means comprising ay pitniainl a catch traveling; wit said knife and a er interposed between said. catch and pitman vto`be en-` tra-red by the form to enga the latter.

in a meat Slicer, a stationary gear, a sha t a catch carried by rid sl ift, bearings carried by said. sha1;
